Business before pleasure

Sorry I've been absent, but business before pleasure. Don't get me wrong it's not that I'm ungrateful for the business it's just ALOT of work putting this once a year sale together.! Thanks to all the wonderful nice shoppers who came out, spent money and supported our business! We had a great turnout for our Tag Sale and the sun shined on us for the first time in weeks which put everybody in a great mood! We really worked hard the weeks before and it paid off! So now onto restocking the store and getting the trailer loaded to head off to Spokane for the Farm Chicks Show. Regroup ,redecorate and retire? Well maybe not quite yet.Part of the Tag Sale Team. From left Kris, center Corky and right me. It really was fun, but thank god it's over!

In need of color

This is my guest bedroom, I wish it looked like this right now ,but my son has been camping out here lately, sweat pants and junk food wrappers not SO cute!
I love the monochromatic look, but with all the gray skies we've had I think I needed a color fix. My bedroom felt blaw and boring, so I unearthed some color. it makes me smile!

Happy Birthday Ben April 7th

Happy 21st Birthday Benjamin

Here we go again, I told you it's birthday after birthday this time of year for us! But don't you think he's soo cute?(oops, I mean cool.) I just had to share his picture with all of you.

April 7th 1988 my first born arrived. Unlike the day my daughter Molly came along this day was sereal, did I really just have a baby? The first is so full of suprises you don't really have a clue what your getting into. I don't care how many books you read or classes you go to nothing prepares you for the reality of bringing home a baby, especially when your only 22 years old! My baby is now 21 years old. How can it be? where did 21 years go? I'm not that old! Poor Ben was definately our guneau pig, it was pure trial and error. I think my boy forgives us, I know he sure loves us and he has turned out to be a wonderful loving, kind and handsome youngman so we must have done a few things right.

Happy Birthday Molly Rae

Happy Birthday Molly!

March 22nd 1994 was the day I had waited for all my life, the day my baby girl was born. I remember it like it was yesterday. How could it be fifteen years ago? Time is fleeting by lately, I'm trying to slow it down, but it's just not working.
